U.S. Surrogacy Expenses

5/30/2020

Because of the legality of surrogacy in the United States, all expenditures are carried out under the protection of the law. It can be said that it is operated in the sun. The custody account will be closed six months after the child is born, and the prospective parents will receive a complete bill. , Including all the expenses during this period, so it can not be simply stated as a fixed price, if someone promises a similar guarantee of 100 million births, please pay attention to identification, the success of the package is subject to conditions.

The US budget for surrogacy is a concern of many domestic prospective parents. Take California as an example for reference.

The cost composition of surrogacy in the United States generally includes five major items: American test-tube hospitals, surrogate agency fees, surrogacy compensation and related, legal attorney fees, and room and board during the stay in the United States.

XNUMX. American Test Tube HospitalCost

Transplantable embryos are the key to successful surrogacy in the United States. How to choose a good doctor and hospital has troubled many prospective parents. The advice to everyone is to proceed in two ways. The hardware looks at the hospital's embryo laboratory and the software looks at the doctor. Many people do not understand foreign websites, and the information they can understand is very limited. Not everyone in the United States can see CDC data. Personally, even the CDC’s success rate data for each test tube clinic can only be used as a reference If possible, go to Yelp, a public review in the United States, to see the doctor’s evaluation, which may be more accurate. The cost of test tubes in the United States is relatively fixed, with a cycle of about 3 US dollars. Test tube hospitals are responsible for projects from early planning, promotion of ovulation, egg retrieval, embryo culture, PGS screening, surrogate physical examination, and embryo transfer until the 12th week of pregnancy.

XNUMX. American surrogate agencyCost

Responsible for recruiting American surrogate mothers and matching them with prospective parents, and providing supporting services for surrogacy. This is the responsibility of regular American surrogate mothers. The intermediary fee is about 2.5 to 3.5 US dollars, of course, there will be less than 2, too low quotation may have gimmicks, such as adding additional charging items, similar to international coordination fees, cycle management fees, etc. The project may not provide replacement surrogacy services. If the transplant is unsuccessful and needs to be replaced, there will be additional costs.

XNUMX. Surrogacy-related expenses

This part of the content requires about 7 US dollars, which is the largest cost in the entire process. Including compensation fees, various subsidies (transportation, clothing, babysitting, rewards, etc.), life and health insurance, psychological screening and pregnancy support, criminal background checks, surrogacy monthly gatherings and other projects. Most of these are fixed, and what will change is insurance. Here we focus on American health insurance. Health insurance is what we usually say about medical insurance. The health insurance that I buy more is Major Health Insurance, which is commonly known as Obama insurance. In the United States, about 2700 million people have no insurance, even if they buy insurance, it is not suitable for surrogacy, so this cost is essential. The insurance covers such items as obstetric examination after 12 weeks of pregnancy, hospital production, and treatment of complications during pregnancy. The cost of insurance is actually not high. A few hundred dollars a month, according to the monthly payment, plus the deductible, the cost is between 10000-15000, not a one-time payment, but the special feature is the prescribed application period, if you miss it During the opening hours of the window, an average additional expenditure of approximately US$1 is required. If you are not in a hurry, you can postpone the transplantation time, or pay the cost of the obstetric inspection in cash first, and then apply for insurance when it is open, which can save part of the cost. The first method is generally chosen. Therefore, the peak period of motherhood in each decade is October. After the insurance takes effect, the transplant will begin. If everything goes well, you can hold your baby in October.

XNUMX. Legal fees

Including the prospective parents' lawyer, surrogate mother's lawyer, custody account, the child's parental rights application attorney fees and court fees, about 1 US dollars. This is a very fixed fee, basically no change. According to US law, prospective parents and surrogate mothers need to hire different lawyers. The two lawyers represent their clients to coordinate and make contracts. The escrow account is set up and managed by a lawyer. Only when the surrogate intermediary and surrogate perform the terms stipulated in the contract can they get the remuneration they deserve, similar to domestic Alipay, and protect the interests of both parties.

XNUMX. Accommodation and meals during the stay in the United States

In the case of egg surrogacy, you need to come to the United States twice, the first time you come to the United States to do test tubes. The woman generally needs to stay for about 2 days, the man can do it for 20 days, the second time is to come over to pick up the child, preferably before the child is born, You can witness a sacred moment. Of course, there are special circumstances that can not be present or cannot come over to pick up the child, you can write a power of attorney, and it will not affect the later certificate processing. It takes about 5 days to get the certificate, so the second time you come to the United States to reserve a one-month stay.

Overall, the budget for surrogacy (single birth) in the United States requires approximately US$15-16 million.
